Worse things a health professional ever said to you

[Lizzie S.]

I've been told I was too nice. I've been told I was bulimic when I was physically ill by two different facilities. I've been told I was hallucinating when I wasn't. A lady didn't say this to me, but said in front of me that the reason there were no male staff at the residential house I was at was because 'there were no pretty girls'. (She was one to talk, ugly on the outside and inside). This isn't talking but the guard who stood outside my door when I was getting treatment for pneumonia from a heroin overdose made scary faces at me through the window where I was basically recovering from almost dying. Other stuff has happened too but it was more insidious and hard to explain, but a lot of bullying. My worst fear is going back to a mental hospital or even a hospital.

That's horrible! That just adds to my fear of hospitals. They can do what they like, who would listen to a crazy person

 

[Clover]

Exactly right misslisa we can't even speak up as we are deemed crazy, delusional or liers.

"You can be my little girl"

"Pray for the will of God"

I could go on but it seems you guys covered everything.

Would had been better off flying to Peru and seeing a Shaman.

 

[mattwitt]

While I was in the psych unit my very first visit to a psychiatric facility I kid you not, one of the psych nurses during a group activities told me to suck it up

They want us all to suffer in silence

 

[Wantingpeace]

Mental health profession and their staff are bloody crazy..I'm so utterly disgusted by all that I've read here.

Wtf :(

Yes and people think that the fear of hospitals mental heAlth staff and medication is part of our "conditoon".

What happened to secularism? If I wanted "gawd" in my treatment, I would go see a priest not a doctor. What the hell does "god" even mean, everyone has a different definition for it, it's an empty word.

 

[Miss clefable]

You see these so called health professionals are just power tripped assholes who want control over you and they think because your got a illness you can't do anything well they can go to hell they are just shallow humans who will never understand any of us

 

[Caustic Cardinals]

I believe it! Some psych nurses should be decapitated...and their family members forced to watch it in slow motion...repeatedly. Hope that isn't too harsh and sorry to hear of your experience. I still think they should be decapitated though.

No hables así, se lo diré a tu madre.

I must agree emphatically disagree.they just don't have the experience to have enough empathy , not critical training

Maybe they are more miserable than their patients... All their life they were told to get good grades, go to college, and get a job that requires a degree and their life would be perfect. They were lied to.

Psychiatrist: "You're not mentally ill. You have cannabis syndrome" (I wasn't smoking weed at the time)

Doctor: "I can't refer you unless you've tried to commit suicide..."

Doctor: "We know antidepressants make you worse. I can't refer you unless you're already on medication"

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

Sorry this happened to you.

 

[lv-gras]

"hi, this medication is making me really sick and feel bad"

"ok, we'll up your dose"

Sorry this happened to you.

I never understand it. The guidelines in the .uk is try everything first before antidepressants but then the some drs won't refer to "everything first" unless medicaticated. Bloody hell this life is craziness

 

[MissLisa]

Ooh I forgot one. It was a few years ago now. I was in a massive state. Finally went to the g.p for some help and she said she is sorry she can't do anything, the nhs is stretched as it is. I switched surgery and started to get help

This happened to me too, not getting medical treatment when I needed it after my heroin overdose (I finally got treated for my pneumonia and later my infected wounds but that's it) I still haven't been treated and feel like shit all time. Not sure if anything can be done but would at least like the courtesy of medical care

 

[IRIYAMA]

Had a specialist in Neurology tell me my condition was psychosomatic, only for a professor of neurology and 4 neuro specialists to confirm the illness a few months later.

 

[Smilla]

I'm sorry that happened, what an ass. I'm currently in nursing as well btw. Just started nursing school.. it's ironic how we're in a profession that saves lives, yet we want to take our own.

Medical professionals have higher rates of suicide, especially female doctors which are 3 or 4 times higher than gen population.

Veterinarians also.

I er... didn't know that. For me it has always been medication first. But apart from CBT there really isn't much available. CBT is the magic band-aid that cures all mental health issues. Of which, I hear they've stopped that now.

"Take the meds, you'll get better"

 

[FadedMemory]

"You can't be that bad. It's just puberty. Look you were smiling a minute ago! Be honest with me, are you doing this for attention?"

 

[Maya]

"Youre bipolar? Then we will expect to see you here quite a lot".

Ill never forget that
